Very basic. Our room had no view, which defeated the purpose of selecting a hotel on the water. The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly.

BEAUTIFUL LOCATION. EASY WALK TO EVERYWHERE. WENDY WAS AMAZING AND SO HELPFUL. SO WAS CHRISTINA, WHO CHECKED US OUT IN THE MORNING. WONDERFUL BREAKFAST.

Good

Good bits first: - service when we arrived was excellent, really friendly and informative. - location was great, just out of the way of the main areas to not be noisy, but close enough to all places good to go to - room was fairly basic, but clean and functional - hotel itself is very well done out - great breakfast and bar (when open) was good Not so great stuff: - small balcony in our room overlooked someone’s back yard (literally) - no food or bar service whatsoever on Sunday - roof terrace, while beautiful, wasn’t always available - bathroom was fine, but could have been better shower and needed a bit of an update - safe in room didn’t work Overall, a really nice stay - not so great stuff here didn’t have massive impact on our stay, but is more intended to offer suggestions for improvement! Also, and this isn’t the hotel’s fault, but more of a tip for others, parking can be tricky at best. Stop outside hotel and ask for help rather than go to the public car park just past the archway.

We booked for 2 nights originally and loved both Siracusa and the hotel so much we stayed an extra night. The beds really comfortable and all the hotel very clean. Very much a boutique hotel. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

We were very well looked after by a friendly staff at Hotel Gutkowski. Orytigia is beautiful and I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great location and great customer service I enjoyed my stay while in Ortygia

Really friendly helpful staff. Allowed us to check in early. Fabulous location. Would certainly book again.

Good location in old town Ortigia, easy to find parking nearby (in Nov) and friendly staff. Nice sea views but the room was a bit noisy. Could do with double glazing for rooms on the road side.

A really great location. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Gutkowski. The hotel kept in good communication with us and was there to meet us when we arrived late the first evening. Breakfast was good, although it was a little too busy later on. Our bed was very comfy and we were shown access to a terrace which was nice.

Lovely stay and wonderful hosts

This was our second stay at Hotel Gutkowski, and we hope it wont be our last. We came originally with our two teenage children and stayed five days, seven years ago, and had a wonderful holiday. This time, we came just as a couple for a one week stay. The welcome, kind & extremely informative, was every bit as we had remembered. The hotel is situated in the historic centre of Siracusa, Ortigia, and there is so much to see & do by foot. The hotel is simply furnished in eclectic style. The rooms have both air conditioning & ceiling fans, absolutely essential, even in September. The restaurant has greatly expanded since our original stay, and we enjoyed two superb meals there, in addition to a varied buffet breakfast every morning. On the second floor there is a large terrace overlookig the sea, where guests are welcome to enjoy drinks, etc. A couple of times we bought food from the incredible local market to have a picnic lunch on the terrace, and enjoy the view. Very highly recommended.

The somewhat prosaic appearance and furnishings of the bedrooms were more than compensated by the exceedingly friendly greeting afforded by Christine, manager of the hotel. The free parking space a few meters from the front door provided an additional enhancement. Breakfast, marked by a copious supply of Sicilys divine grapefruits and oranges started our days on a high note.

Close to entrance to Ortigia so having a car was okay. Other hotels are harder to get to. Parking is public, so you have to either pay or work a little. Everything in Ortigia is within walking distance. We had the room on the large terrace looking at the see. The room is small but the view is great.

Do yerself a favour and stay at hotel gutkowski it is fabulous

Hotel staff great, helpful, good English. Hotel handy for all Ortagia's facilities. Good continental breakfast and small bistro menu in the evenings. Visited 11-18th November so very quiet. Ortagia still lively, though some restuarants closed for winter.

We loved this hotel - great location and really friendly staff. Fabulous decor and sea views! Would definitely recommend this hotel. Great little touches like free bike hire and free granita on the beautiful roof terrace between 5-7 really made this hotel extra special.

This is a beautiful hotel close to everythibg you want to see and do in Siracusa. We would stay here again.

A nice stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the accommodation comfortable.The hotel was on the island of Ortiga so was ideally placed for enjoying the old sites.

Great location on the water. Walking distance to everything in Ortigia. Wonderful, Engllish-speaking staff. Excellent restaurant housed in hotel.

Great location, great staff,great restaurant. Price was very reasonable compared to the high quality of hotel. Highly recommend making reservations at restaurant.

The staff are very kind. Christine at the reception desk especially was helpful, friendly, efficient--helped with street parking and figuring out why we couldn't print a boarding pass. Our room (26)--in the newer building with the reception desk-- had a balcony and a great view of the ocean, and was next to the terrace. Some street noise, but not overwhelming in mid-Oct. The Gut restaurant next door was excellent.

Located in the Old Town. Parking spaces are limited. Stayed for 3 nights and was disappointed to get a room (basic, but clean) with no balcony, facing the back. Roof terrace - great place to chill and sip free granitas late afternoon. Breakfast is simple cold buffet. Friendly staff.

Lovely hotel in a lovely spot, great breakfast

Looked at the outside and thought it would be bad but was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. It's in an old building (that's what you want in Siracusa) but I felt comfortable and the price was right.
